Glaxo seeks to overturn Genentech antibody patent

* Glaxo challenges Cabilly antibody drug patent
* Argues patent invalid, not infringed by Arzerra

* Glaxo partner Genmab sees no impact on 2009 guidance

LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) has challenged a biotech patent held by Roche's (ROG.VX) Genentech unit in a bid to give a clear run to its experimental cancer and arthritis drug Arzerra, being developed with Genmab (GEN.CO).

The British drugmaker said on Thursday it had filed a declaratory judgment action at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida arguing the "Cabilly" patent was invalid, unenforceable and not infringed by Arzerra.

Genmab, a Danish biotech company whose prospects hinge on the success of Arzerra, said the legal case was not expected to affect its financial guidelines for 2009.

The patent has been in dispute before.

In February, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office confirmed that Genentech's patent was valid, in a reversal of an earlier decision.

A year earlier, the patent office had rejected the validity of the Cabilly patent, prompting Genentech to appeal. The patent remained in effect during that reexamination process. (Reporting by Ben Hirschler; Editing by Hans Peters)

Begin van de ommekeer van het desastreuze koersverloop?

Genmab Achieves Milestone in Arzerra Collaboration
Copenhagen, Denmark; April 19, 2010 – Genmab A/S (OMX: GEN) announced today it has reached a milestone for Arzerra™ (ofatumumab) under the terms of its collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). A milestone payment of approximately DKK 87 million (approximately USD 16 million) was triggered by the European Commission’s granting of a conditional marketing authorization for ofatumumab for the treatment of refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

“This milestone marks an important achievement; the first Genmab antibody to reach the market in Europe,” said Lisa N. Drakeman, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Ofatumumab is a novel human monoclonal antibody with a unique mode of action. It targets a unique part of the CD20 molecule encompassing an epitope in the small loop. The CD20 molecule is a key target in CLL therapy, because it is expressed in most B cell malignancies.

Komt aan die lange glijvlucht nog een einde?

Ik geloof niet meer in de "topline results" van Lisa.

Ik zou het ook graag anders zien, sta inmiddels al ver in de min met dit aandeel!.....
Heeft iemand misschien een positief geluid over de toekomst verwachtingen?!.....
